Herb – Mint Pepper

Description

Peppermint is a highly aromatic herbaceous perennial with scented, slightly serrated leaves. It bears tiny purple flowers that grow in conical clusters come late Summer.

It flaunts an excellent, refreshing scent, and is the mint variety with the strongest flavour. When utilised in aromatherapy, peppermint packs a sharp punch for improved alertness. Widely used in commercially manufactured products, its strength is valued for chewing gum, soaps, sweets, cosmetics, mouth wash, toothpaste and more.

Peppermint is a fantastic natural tool for relieving heartburn and indigestion, and may be consumed by brewing tea out of the leaves, fresh or dried. This refreshing herb may be used as a garnish for sweet and savoury dishes, or alcoholic drinks.
